Hokitika Rest Day

I wake up in the morning with my calves and quads tight and stiff. James is apparently in the same predicament. So even though the sun is out – a perfect day for cycling – we will take the day off to relax and restock our food supplies. Hokitika has the last supermarker for the next 450 kilometers. After here, food will most likely be expensive and of the canned variety.

We spend the day going to the supermarket and various outdoor gear shops. I pick up an inflatable single mattress to put inside the hammock. There won’t be cold nights anymore!
